Has happened over and over again that the Western political class prioritizes alignment with some entity on some short term goal over checking that the entity shares any other sentiments. And then being all surprised-pikachu when they dont.

US funding mujahideen against the Soviets.

Israel funding Hamas to keep the PA weak.

Europe lauding Aung Sang Suu Kyi in Myanmar

etc.

Any time you see a puff piece in mainstream Western media about some leader abroad that "we find we can work with" or has similar cheese, beware.



You can add Juan Guido in Venezuela (sorry if misspelled his name)
